Frequently Asked Questions
How much timezone overlap do I need?
Most remote companies require 4-6 hours of overlap. Some async-first companies need only 2-3 hours, while others in fast-paced industries may want 6-8 hours.
Can I work remotely with zero overlap?
It's rare but possible with fully async companies. You'll need strong written communication skills and the ability to work independently. Look for companies that explicitly mention async-first culture.
What if the job says "US hours only"?
This usually means they expect you to work during US business hours, regardless of your location. You'd need to adjust your schedule to match, which may mean working nights.
